The Cozy Relationship of Google's Eric Schmidt & Obama

With the latest revelation that the NSA is also using the PRISM secret data-collecting program on Google and Facebook, it has brought to light even more questions about how this could be used by an administration willing to use it for political reasons. We already know that the IRS has misused their power for political reasons....so are we to believe that our information collected from Google and Facebook could not possibly be misused for political purposes---for purposes of obtaining an advantage in winning an election??

Making this even more suspicious is the very close relationship that Obama and Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt of Google have. Schmidt is one of Obama's largest donors. Schmidt worked on Obama's campaign. And Obama's campaign team are now working for Google. Schmidt would have access to Americans regarding where they live, what their politics are, and all kinds of things. Have you ever noticed how if you do a search on Google for Thermodor appliances, for example, that suddenly all these ads will pop up over the right column of each page....regarding appliances? That's because they already datamine our behavior.

We also know that Obama had a tremendous campaign operation regarding getting out the vote and obtaining donations.....using Facebook and Iphones. In fact, in 2011 his campaign received even more donations via Facebook adn IPhones from young people than before.

I, for one, am extremely uncomfortable with this cozy relationship:

"This week, Bloomberg reported that Obama’s data mining team, used to such great effect during his 2012 re-election for president, has been hired nearly wholesale to go work for Google.

This may not come as such a great surprise, however, as Google’s Executive Chairman, Eric Schmidt, helped organize and run Obama’s re-election e-team. . .

More than a few people rolled their eyes last week when Rush Limbaugh said the exposure of NSA's vast data-mining operation was a glimpse of an ongoing coup d'état of the U.S. government. “Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you." --Joseph Heller, Catch-22

Anybody who buys an Android appliance, phone, or tablet, is putting money in 0bama’s and the DNC’s campaign funds.

Same goes for Apple and Microsoft, by the way.

Anybody that uses Google as a search engine is volunteering their search history to the government spooks.

If you want a smart phone, wait for Ubuntu Touch or Firefox OS. They are apolitical corporations, so far.

If you have an Android-based, Apple-based or Microsoft-based smart phone, you basically have an 0bama-phone that you’ve paid for, while the moronic minions get theirs free.
